A very intriguing match-up takes place Saturday afternoon as the No. 1 Louisville Cardinals host the No. 6 Syracuse Orange in a Big East showdown.

Rebounds per game: Syracuse averages 43.2 boards per outing while the Cardinals are averaging 38.6 rebounds per game.
Assists per game: The Orange are putting up 16.5 assists per outing while Louisville is averaging 14.8 per game.
Field goal percentage: Syracuse is shooting .456 while the Cardinals come in shooting .457 this season.
Thoughts: The Orange are coming off a win over Villanova while Louisville took care of Connecticut in their last outing. If Syracuse wins this game, they will most likely be the No. one team in the nation come Monday. I expect a very evenly played game with the Louisville pulling out the nail biting win.
